I have a few questions regarding kmail-4.3.2. I installed kmail
successfull via macports. When i first started kmail i was able to
configure my imap account and check for messages and recieved them
and so one. Everything was fine. But now i get the error message
"Could not start process for imap" after kmail has been started.
Someone has an idea whats causing this?
By the way, what is the correct way to start an macports X11
application? Do i have to run launchctl every time?
I don't know kmail, but to start an X11 app, you just type its name in
the terminal, as you would with any command line program. Mac OS X
10.5 and later will automatically start X11 for you if it is not
already running (assuming you have not overwritten Apple's value for
the DISPLAY environment variable).
Usually you would only use launchctl to either start a server process
now and cause it to start automatically at every system startup, or to
do the reverse and stop a server process and cause it to no longer
start automatically at system startup. As far as I can tell, kmail is
an email client, so I'm not sure why that would require a server
process. Even if it did, you would only need to start it once and it
would from then on always be running. What command are you running
with launchctl?
